I once spent 5 minutes in a costco parking lot watching a couple try to fit a 5cu ft chest freezer into the back seat of a Camry. It was easily a foot too tall and 8" too wide to fit the widest part of the door. They just kept ramming it in until a random guy on the sidewalk said "it'll never fit" and then they immediately went back to return it.

I think it's most Toyota drivers in general, or at least the ones that don't know the name of the engine in their car.

I've got picture of somebody tying a couch to a roof of a Sienna with twine at an Ikea store.

Some people are very intelligent, but lack sense and perspective. I used to tease my dear departed mother and call her the ivory tower woman. She graduated 8th in her class in high school and applied to Stanford and Cal (UC Berkeley). She got into both, and ended up graduating from Cal. She could dissect grammar just about perfectly in English, Spanish, French, and Latin. She could recognize almost any piece of classical music. She could play the piano....but she couldn't manage her way out of a paper bag (so to speak). I don't think she would have done either of the funny things that you observed, but some things she neglected to do made almost as little sense as what you observed.

Here is a fun picture!

I'll be driving alone, no passenger - will I be able to get a 6' wood ladder in, folded, with the seats down??

Maybe

Try one of these! All I know is our haulin' days are over - May be able to get the Christmas tree into the 2000 C230 Kompressor of ours, but if we're feeling iffy about it, we'll have 'em deliver it. Our Yaris is strictly for groceries or the occasional junk shopping spree...I just don't want it to get all trashed out from hauling too much junk in it. I am going to keep this car as mint looking as I possibly can.

Yes. There is right about 7' between the glove box and the hatch. I find that I can carry 8' lumber, if I get it under the glove box, into the foot well area and 10' CVPC pipe, if I arc it a bit.

[soveenie]

Yup! It worked! It angled between the seats, rested firmly ON the knob of the gear shift lever, and didn't touch the glass of the back window!

I fit a full-size pinball machine in mine. I was almost able to get the hatch shut too. If I would have taken the head completely off, I bet I could have. No pics, though.

I fit this,


Skywatcher 10", sucker barely fits and I've scratched up my plastics a bit because of the base..but I jam it in. It's great seeing fellow amateur astronomers give me a raised eyebrow seeing me pull that sumbich out, they have their mini vans and trucks for smaller ones, BAH! Yaris can do anything.
